Unlike TDKR then.

But seriously, you can't show a post apocalyptic landscape.

You can, it's just normally it is apocalyptic. For example, inside the dome in Logan's Run is a post-apocalyptic landscape, when they go outside they're in an apocalyptic landscape.

"Pre"? It's in my local Blockbuster. Or is the retail release lagging behind?

People have commented about the similarities between the Raid and Dredd, but I wonder how the release of Dredd will affect the US remake of the Raid?

RE: Dredd 3D - enjoyed it!

Just watched the 2D transfer ( dont have 3Dand not really interested ) . Can`t remember the last time I enjoyed an action movie as much. The transfer left a little to be desired in some places, but the sound will really test your system . Overall a really great 96 mins of adult action movie.

Get It.

I saw the 2D version and it was good... I enjoyed it more than Sly's version but strange to say my son (21 now) prefered the origional with Sly ?
